Hockey’s Future is ranking the prospect systems of NHL teams and have the Rangers ranked 17th.

Speed, and building a team around it, is one of the Rangers strengths as well as a solid group of defensive prospects.

The main weakness they say the Rangers system is continues to be the lack of top goalie prospects and a plan to succeed Henrik Lundqvist. They also say that the Rangers don’t have a number one center in their system.

In May, when Carl Hagelin still counted and Tim Erixon was on the team, the Rangers were ranked 11th by Hockey’s Future.
